Snowbrush Ceanothus is an evergreen, nitrogen-fixing shrub that is native to the Pacific Northwest. Shiny evergreen leaves and fragrant beautiful flowers makes Snowbrush Ceanothus an excellent choice for the native home garden.

Ceanothus need little or no regular feeding in most garden soils. However to encourage strong new growth after pruning, plants can be fed annually in spring.
Ceanothus like a fertile, well-drained soil and won’t thrive where it is heavy or overly wet. To improve drainage, dig-in some organic matter, like leaf mould or well-rotted manure, before planting.
Ceanothus are pruned differently depending on flowering time and whether the plant is evergreen or deciduous
